Anyone seen the new Ikea ad?

Posted by wondering on March 24, 2005 at 19:32:45

Someone just told me, 'I have just seen an advertisement on BBC television for a programme called IKEA [it's a furniture company] Drives Me Mad. They are using images of what I suppose they consider to be wild and wacky things to make their point. However, some of the images they are using are from the COG in days gone past. Given the situation around Ricky and the great suffering of the young people who were abused within the group, I think it is in bad taste to use these images.'

If this is so we need to mount a campaign & get on Ikea's case. It's bad enuf that they make crappy furniture. Anyone else seen this ad?
